MORE ABOUT LOKEV TABOR MILITARY MUSEUM Tabor Lokev Military Museum is operating in the defense tower - Tabor, which was built in 1485 and is a cultural monument of local importance owned by the municipality of Sežana. The museum was opened on August 14, The owner of the museum collection and the manager of the museum is Srečko Rože, a fan of the militaries. Also an archeological and ethnological collection. MEMORIAL OF REDIPUGLIA/SREDPOLJE The Memorial of Redipuglia is Italy's largest and most majestic memorial dedicated to the soldiers who fell in the Great War. Built on the slopes of Mt. Sei Busi and designed by architect Giovanni Greppi and sculptor Giannino Castiglioni, it was opened on 18th September 1938 after ten years of construction. This massive monument, also known as Memorial "of the Hundred Thousands", accommodates the remains of soldiers who fell in battle in the 2
3 surrounding areas; some of them had been initially buried on Colle Sant'Elia nearby. Strongly advocated by the fascist regime, this monument intended to celebrate the sacrifice of the fallen soldiers as well as provide a dignified resting place to those fighters who could not be buried in the cemetery of the Undefeated. It is structured on three levels, symbolising the army descending from the sky, led by its Commander towards the Path of Heroes. On the top, three crosses evoke Mt. Golgotha and the crucifixion of Christ. THE WALK OF PEACE The Walk of Peace in the Upper Soca Region connects places and regions where numerous remnants of World War I have been preserved, restored and arranged as outdoor museums. One of these is Kolovrat. Along its ridge, visitors marvel at the breath taking views of Veneto and the Friuli lowlands on one side, and the former battlefields of the Isonzo Front on the other side.during World War I, the Italian army built here an extensive system of its third line of defence, known as»linea d'armata«. A unique experience is visiting this»museum«in the company of a guide, who will present in detail the cultural and historical heritage, as well as the natural attractions of the area. BOURBON s TOMBS The tombs of the last members of the French royal family of the Bourbons can be found in the crypt of the church of Kostanjevica. These nobles were exiled from France in the revolution of At first they found refuge in Edinburgh, Scotland; from there they went to Prague, in the current Czech Republic. Finally they came to Gorica where they were received as the guests of Count Coronini. When they died, they were buried here and for this reason Kostanjevica is known as the Little St. Denis. SKALNICA Sveta Gora (Monte Santo di Gorizia) is a settlement in western Slovenia in the Municipality of Nova Gorica. It encompasses Holy Mount (Slovene: Sveta gora), above the Soča Valley and southwest of the Banjšice Plateau.In May 1917 Sveta Gora was the scene of heavy fighting between Austrian and Italian forces. Sveta Gora became an independent settlement in 2006, when its territory was administratively separated from the territory of Solkan and Grgar. 3
4 KLUŽE FORTRESS The Kluže Fortress is a fort near the town of Bovec in northwestern Slovenia. The fortress was built in 1472 near Bovec on the road between Cave del Predil and Carinthia. Its likely original purpose was defence of Friuli against the Turks. In the course of the 16th century Bovec came under Austrian authority as a result of the wars between Venice and the Habsburgs. However, for the time being it remained as an ecclesiastical dependence of Ciudad and Aquileia. At the end of the 18th century it was entirely under Austria's administration, and remained so until In 1796 and 1797 fighting took place around the fort, as Napoleon's army pushed through the Koritnica gorge. In 1903 part of Bovec was destroyed by a fire. What remained standing was ravaged in World War I, when the Italian-Austrian front (Battles of the Isonzo) crossed through the valley as the battle cut from north to south. KOBARID MUSEUM 4
5 The Kobarid Museum, recipient of the Council of Europe Museum Prize in 1993, with its photos, maps, models, weapons and personal belongings of soldiers, and a documentary film, presents with sensitivity the most extensive story about World War I on Slovenian soil. It portrays in detail the horrors of mountain warfare in the Julian Alps, the Isonzo Front, and in particular the Twelfth Battle of the Isonzo, one of the major mountain conflicts in military history. During this battle, in October 1917, a combined offensive of German and Austro-Hungarian forces employed a new military tactic and drove the Italians all the way to the Piave River. The main message relayed by the Museum is the condemnation of war and suffering endured by mankind as a result of warfare. FRANJA PARTISAN HOSPITAL The Franja Partisan Hospital, named after a physician, Dr. Franja Bojc Bidovec, was constructed and operated during World War II, in the years from 1943 to 1945, in the narrow Pasice gorge in the village of Dolenji Novaki near Cerkno. The hospital complex comprised 14 wooden cabins and several other facilities that were almost entirely destroyed by a severe storm in the autumn of 2007, but have today been completely restored. During its operation, the hospital was one of the best equipped clandestine hospitals in Slovenia. Under its wing, partisans, allied and enemy soldiers, and civilians were treated altogether 578 persons of various nationalities. The Franja Partisan Hospital is today a magnificent place of remembrance, a symbol of humanity, solidarity and comradeship. In 2007 the hospital was ranked among monuments bearing the prestigious European Heritage Label. Franja Partisan Hospital 5
6 Gewerkenegg Castle and Idrija Municipal Museum Gewerkenegg Castle dominates over the old town of Idrija. It was built in the early 16th century as the administrative building of the Mercury Mine. The castle furnishings have not been preserved, but its lovely exterior dating from the late 18th century with its impressive, painted arched courtyard has been reconstructed. Today, the interior of the castle is enriched by exhibitions revealing to visitors the exceptional history of the town and the mine, the art of designing and making Idrija lace, the life of Idrija miners' families, and the unique technical heritage. The castle is home to the Idrija Municipal Museum, which was named Best European Museum of Industrial and Technical Heritage in
